Art Cast is a podcast presented by Matt Gee, artist… and Subject Leader for Fine Art at the Chelsea Centre, Morley College. The decision to do this podcast was originally Inspired by photographs taken from the Polio outbreak in the 1940s where students were being remotely taught by radio. This podcast is a series of informal discussions with artists, designers and musicians about their work, lifestyle and how they have adapted during the current crisis we live in. The aim is to disseminate material for students by limiting screen time and providing a feed of information for when they are taking a break from the screen.
Chris Cawkwell’s work explores consumer culture within a capitalist framework; utilising contemporary technologies, performative and interactive elements to critique the social systems and processes which operate around us, and highlight the rate at which products are consumed and commodified.
Cawkwell graduated with a masters in Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Art in 2012. He has exhibited nationally and internationally
He co founded Art Lacuna. ArtLacuna is an artist-led space established in May 2013, located in an old coroner’s office near Clapham Junction. It accommodates artist studios, a residency and research program, as well as project and exhibition space, based in Clapham Junction, South London.
